Hymn to Artemis Agrotere

She who shoots down the fast deer.
Goddess of Forests,
Mistress of Animals, Muse, sing Her chorus.

Of She I begin to sing,
She's the great Huntress, devotion do I bring.
Running about the trees,
chasing down Her target,
ever-swift, the deer She will seize.

As She spots Her game,
She pulls back Her bow,
giving flawless aim.
The forest rumbles as She fires,
striking down the stag,
victory in the hunt She acquires.
Never is She evaded,
a magnificent Huntress,
for Her this hymn I have created.

You I have worshiped for so long,
I hail to you, Artemis Agrotere,
and to you I dedicate this song.
